====On a PC:====
Go to Start->Run and type "\\williams\williams"
*Scroll down until you see a somewhat overwhelming list of the network printers on campus, e.g. lw-jesup-205
*Click on the printer you want to install, then click "Yes" and "OK" to the popups
*Find the type of the printer you want to install (some listed [http://cf.williams.edu/oit/facilities/printers/public.cfm here]). All public printers are HP, usually laserjet 5m, 4000, 4050, 4100. If you can't find the right one, select something close to it.

====Mac OSX 10.4:====
